Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that is necessary for cells to be able to use blood sugar.Insulin is a hormone that is central to regulating the energy and glucose metabolism in the body. Insulin causes cells in the liver, muscle, and fat tissue to take up glucose from the blood, storing it as glycogen in the liver and muscle.Insulin stops the use of fat as an energy source. When insulin is absent, glucose is not taken up by body cells and the body begins to use fat as an energy source, for example, by transfer of lipids from adipose tissue to the liver for mobilization as an energy source. As its level is a central metabolic control mechanism, its status is also used as a control signal to other body systems (such as amino acid uptake by body cells). In addition, it has several other anabolic effects throughout the body.

"It is the islet cells that secrete insulin..."

Insulin is a hormone and is found in even single-celled organisms and has been around for several billion years. Insulin is also a protein just like many other hormones. The pancreas has a group of cells called islet cells. It is the islet cells that secrete insulin.
The pancreas is an organ that sits behind the stomach and has many functions in addition to insulin production. The pancreas also produces digestive enzymes and other hormones.
When you eat, the food is digested and then broken down into glucose. Glucose is the simple sugar that is the body`s main source of energy, otherwise known as blood sugar. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose and are absorbed from the intestines into the bloodstream after you eat.
The pancreas then secretes insulin in response to the increase in blood sugar. Most cells of the body have insulin receptors which bind the insulin to the cell. When a cell has insulin attached to it, the cell then is able to activate the other receptors. These receptors are designed to absorb glucose from the blood stream and move the glucose into the inside of the cell for energy.
Without insulin, the cells in our bodies would not be able to process the glucose and therefore have no energy for movement, growth, repair, or other functions. Insulin is key to unlocking the door of the cell to allow the glucose to be transferred from the bloodstream into the cell.
Ordinarily, when glucose enters our blood, the pancreas automatically produces the right amount of insulin to move glucose into our cells.

Insulin is a hormone. And like many hormones, insulin is a protein. Insulin is secreted by groups of cells within the pancreas called islet cells. Insulin was the first hormone identified (late 1920`s) which won the doctor and medical student who discovered it the Nobel Prize (Banting and Best). They discovered insulin by tying a string around the pancreatic duct of several dogs. When they examined the pancreases of these dogs several weeks later, all of the pancreas digestive cells were gone (died and were absorbed by the immune system) and the only thing left was thousands of pancreatic islets. They then isolated the protein from these islets and behold, they discovered insulin.
Insulin is used medically in some forms of diabetes mellitus. Patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus depend on exogenous insulin (injected subcutaneously) for their survival because of an absolute deficiency of the hormone. Patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus have either relatively low insulin production or insulin resistance or both, and a non-trivial fraction of Type 2 diabetics eventually require insulin administration when other medications become inadequate in controlling blood glucose levels.

As to the bodily functions, the pancreas produces insulin through the endocrine cells. It maintains balance since it produces insulin and glucagon at the same time. The body`s release of insulin depends on some factors. You may produce less or more than normal insulin if you have hormonal or glandular problems. Insulin is also produced and release in response to a high level of glucose in the body. Eating foods which secretes glucose could increase insulin production. Some of these are bread, rice, and potatoes.

Insulin is a peptide hormone (meaning it is composed of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins). Your body makes Insulin by breaking down the protein from foods like meat and beans and recombining the amino acids into insulin. Insulin is made in the Pancreas, but there is no specific action you can take to have your body make more insulin, your body will always make the amount of insulin it needs to properly digest the food you eat, that is of course if you do not have a disorder such as diabetes.

Your pancreas controls the insulin in your body.
Type 1 diabetes is where you are born with it, but your pancreas does not work and your are insulin dependent.
Type 2 diabetes your pancreas works but needs help by injecting insulin to provide what your body does not make. Or taking a pill or controling it by food if you are border line.
Pretty much all Type 1 diabetics diagnosed nowadays are put on a 24Hr insulin, such as Lantus or Levemir, along with a very short acting, such as Novorapid for the meals.
Lantus / Levemir are used by most Type 1 diabetics.
The `best` Insulin depends on what you need it for, and your lifestyle. Different insulins work in different ways. Some start working in 5 mins, and last for 2/3 hours, and some start working in an hour and last for 24 Hrs.
You need to contact your doctor to see which one would be best for you, because it really is a personal thing.

It is possible although unlikely that you can get rid of type 2 diabetes. this is with a near perfect healthy diet and excellent amount of exercise. it can help with your pancreas. unfortunately there isnt a real way at a medical standpoint or something at home that will get your insulin levels back up.

Insulin is created in your body by the Pancreas. It`s purpose is to regulate the amount of glucose in the blood. While it is not possible for the body to produce insulin outside of the pancreas, it is possible by making changes to your diet to increase the amount of insulin your body produces. The addition of glucosium to your diet would be beneficial in increasing natural insulin production. Cinnamon, Bitter Lemon and Goldenseal are amongst many other herbs that promote healthy insulin activity within the body.

Sugar and grains help the body produce insulin. Almond, peanut and bitter gourd are also beneficial in this regard. Basically food containing starch aid the pancreas create insulin. Use potatoes, white rice and flour.
